The PNS helps to maintain internal balance, or "homeostasis," by the Parasympathetic division of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). Sometimes referred to as the "rest and digest" system, the Parasympathetics keep our internal activities regular throughout the day and night, such as a steady heart rate, slow breathing, digestion of food, filtration of blood, and excretion of wastes.

Explain why the grey mice have a higher fitness. Cite evidence from the diagram to support your answer.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Grey Mice have a higher fitness because their phenotype allows them to blend in with their environment, thus helping them to avoid predators. This allows them to survive and reproduce better than the other mice.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

DNA template sequence:

5' TGACCAAGT 3'

RNA antisense sequence: 3' UGACCAAGU 5'

>>> RNA sense sequence (transcript) : UGAACCAGU

Explanation:

In the DNA molecule, four types of nitrogenous bases are found: cytosine (C), and guanine (G), adenine (A) and thymine (T). In DNA the bases pair up with each other in the following ways: A pairs with T by two hydrogen bonds, while C pairs with G by three hydrogen bonds. In RNA (i.e., transcript sequence), T is replaced by uracil (U). Moreover, the RNA nucleotide sequence is read in the direction 5' to 3'.
